IndiGO Transportation for
Persons with Disabilities (PwD) Project

The goals of the PwD (Persons with a Disability) program are to provide a reduced
fare shared ride service for persons who have a disability and are ages 18 to 64, living
in Indiana County, and needing transportation to or from an area not served by existing
transportation services.

Service Area

The transportation service will be provided through the Indiana County Shared Ride Program. Trips will be provided within the county; the only exception is Thursday trips to
Pittsburgh for medical appointments. Call for details on all Pittsburgh trips.

Where You Can Go

The PwD program helps people go to medical
appointments, shopping, recreational activities, jobs, and appointments at social service agencies.

How to Schedule a Ride

Appointments must be called into the Scheduler no later than 2 p.m. one
business day prior to the appointments.

Once your application is received and reviewed you will be notified of your eligibility to participate.

How to Read a Schedule

Step 1 : Know where you want to go and when you want to get
there.Step 2 : Look at the schedule. Make sure you have the correct
one for your destination and starting point. Check the route number on
the schedule, and make sure it matches the one on the bus when it
arrives at your bus stop. Also, realize that you may have to transfer
from one bus to another if there is no direct route to your
destination.Step 3 : Look for the day of the week on which you want to
travel.Step 4 : Look up your destination on the schedule, and look
across or down the column to find the time you wish to arrive there.Step 5 : Find your starting point on the schedule. Work
backwards from your destination to your starting point to figure out
when you need to catch the bus.Step 6 : Have exact change or your bus pass ready when you
board the bus. The fare should be listed on the schedule. If you need
to switch buses, ask the driver for a transfer slip when you get on
your first bus. It is a good idea to arrive at the bus stop at least
five minutes early.Step 7 : When the bus is getting close to your destination,
there is usually a cord that you pull to let the driver know that you
want to get off there. Make sure you pull the cord, or the driver may
not stop at your destination.

Remember, service animals are allowed on buses, and many buses
can lower the steps for easier access. Tell the driver if you need
assistance.
